I'd like to know what the best approach is towards making your own custom after effects effects. Especially regarding compatibility with the latest version of ae cc2015+
I have coded some image processing effects in java(Processing), and have some basic java script and python skills. Also I've done some basic parallel processing based effects using Max MSP gen, so I have some basic understanding of principles.
I saw some stuff regarding Pixel Bender, which I hadn't heard of until yesterday, it seems like one way to approach this, but then I saw somewhere that this has been discontinued?
Can anyone help me get started?
